Holidays North West England   -   Tourist information North West England.

A wide, fertile plain in the west slopes up to the Pennine Hills in the east. The northeastern part of the region, which lies to the east of the M6 motoway, is an area of wide-open spaces, including Bleasdale Moor and the Forest of Bowland. The region's main rivers are the Lune in the north, the Ribble and, in the south, the river Mersey, which forms a large part of the boundary between Lancashire and Cheshire.

England's Northwest has always been renowned for the diversity of places to visit and explore.
Beyond the urban confines of Manchester, the Lake District lies to the north, the Pennines rise off into the east toward Yorkshire and the captivating city of Liverpool lies to the west, on the coast of the Irish Sea.

  Chester  & Cheshire 
With a history dating back at least 4000 years, Cheshire is a county that captures the very essence of England. In the peace and beauty of Cheshire's countryside, there are always secrets to be discovered.
They could be the sudden view across glorious summer landscapes from a wooded hillside path; the vivid colours of autumn leaves in one of Cheshire's world-class country gardens; fine local food served on a winter's day in a warm and welcoming ancient Inn; or the magnificent sweep of a championship golf course in the clear sunshine of spring.
  Cumbria  -  Lake District
With summer on its way there's no better place to enjoy the sunshine than Cumbria - the Lake District. Have fun on the water in a hired rowing boat or take it easy on a relaxing lake cruise or for the more energetic, view the lakes from the lofty Lakeland peaks. There are plenty of perfect picnic locations and miles of sandy beaches to explore. Our award-winning gardens are at their best now and there's an excellent choice of child-friendly attractions to keep the whole family entertained all summer
